Doesn't Practice What They Preach

Business Outlook

Pros

Coworkers, Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), non-medical benefits. Upper/executive level leadership (excluding lower levels).

Cons

Zero accountability and required leadership skills in lower-level management/leadership. Poor pay compared to market, though claims "competitive pay" and review it "every 2 years"; over 70% of employees noted poor pay on the most recent employee survey. Doesn't practice what they preach, especially in terms of diversity, inclusion, or equity - at least from lower leadership. After attempting to report discrimination and WHILE waiting to hear back about an ADA accommodations request, was fired with only reason given "although you have 100% QA and above-average production/efficiency, you still struggle to receive feedback" for attempting to ask leader about requesting us to engage in unethical practices or questioning misrepresented documentation about conversations and meetings.

Two Steps Forward, Two Steps Backward

Pros

Extremely competitive benefits! 6% 401K Match and, at the time, an additional automatic 4% 401K contribution. Health insurance cost only fairly priced. Post-Covid, many offices went full-remote and during Covid Farmers was quick to adapt and implement effective WFH procedures. Work Culture is excellent, but can depend on the manager. Some are flexible and results-oriented, others can be rigid and task-oriented. Generous and universal Paternity/Maternity leave. Many employees stay long-term for this benefit alone. Commitment to innovation and procedural improvement, lots of automation opportunity and management is receptive to guidance. However, automation is self-directed, if something sucks leadership expect a grassroots solution instead of investing time/money. "Doing more with less" is a common response.

Cons

Pay is average, neither good nor bad. However, bonus pool has struggled at times. Promotion largely based on tenure or being a favorite of leadership. Can lead to rapid promotion and pay increases, but also jealous relationships with co-workers. Also, people have been promoted before they are ready, leading to being punished during year-end evaluations or re-organizations. Frequent reporting structure changes and re-orgs. Had 3 different organization changes over 3 years. A little bit of a "deck chairs on the titanic" problem. Certain departments dominate decision making, hampering Farmers speed-to-market. Analysts and PMs make changes where they can but struggle to get buy-in from other stakeholders.

Pros

None. The family dynamic has been stripped from the company and you are nothing but a number. Would give zero stars if I could

Cons

Poor management. People leaving in max exodus due to “restructuring” of the company. Poor leadership. Overworked and underpaid. No opportunity for growth or advancement so no way to promote, even if you give it your all. Poor communication. Bad work environment. DO NOT work here, especially in the Bay Area!
